NAME

amp-icmp - AMP standalone ICMP ECHO_REQUEST test

SYNOPSIS

amp-icmp [-hrx] [-p milliseconds] [-s packetsize] [-I iface] [-4 address] [-6 address] [-Q codepoint] [-Z microseconds] -- destination1 [destination2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

amp-icmp is the standalone version of the amplet2(8) ICMP ECHO_REQUEST test. It is very similar in function to ping(8), except that it can test to multiple destinations simultaneously. All destinations listed on the command line will be tested to. Any destinations that are hostnames will be resolved, and every address that they resolve to will be tested.

OPTIONS

-h, --help Show summary of options.

-I, --interface iface Specifies the interface (device) that tests should use when sending packets. By default the interface will be selected according to the routing table.

-p, --perturbate milliseconds Delay the test by a random number of milliseconds, up to a maximum of milliseconds. The default is to not perturbate tests (no delay).

-Q, --dscp codepoint IP differentiated services codepoint to set. This should be a string representing a 6-bit value in binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal, or the short name of a predefined, commonly used codepoint. The default is 0.

-r, --random Use a random packet size for each test.

-s, --size packetsize Specifies the total number of bytes to be sent per packet (including headers). The default is 84 bytes.

-v, --version Show version of program.

-x, --debug Enable extra debugging output.

-Z, --interpacketgap microseconds Minimum number of microseconds between sending probe/query packets.

-4, --ipv4 a.b.c.d Specifies the source IPv4 address that tests should use when sending packets to IPv4 targets. This address must belong to one of the interfaces. By default the IPv4 address of the outgoing interface will be used.

-6, --ipv6 a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h Specifies the source IPv6 address that tests should use when sending packets to IPv6 targets. This address must belong to one of the interfaces. By default the IPv6 address of the outgoing interface will be used.
